Meet the thinnest smartphone in America, the
VivoAir. It's made by
BLU Products, a company I've never heard of until
VivoAir was released.
The Miami based company continues to prove that it is easier and simpler to build a beautiful smartphone and sell it for next to nothing.
Aside it being the thinnest phone in the U.S., the
VivoAir boasts of
5.1mm thickness,
16 GB internal storage,
8 Mega pixel primary camera and
5 Mega pixel front camera. Pretty good for beautiful photos.
What I love most about the
VivoAir is it's thinness. It's just 5.1 mm thick. That's stupid thin. As skinny as
I am. NO! I am thicker than it is. It also weighs less than
100 ounces.That's stupid light too. It runs on
Android 4.4.2 (KitKat). It's thinner, lighter and more affordable (not for the average Ghanaian).
See the detailed features of the
VivoAir below as provided by
GSM Arena.

I don't expect the
Vivo Air in the
Ghanaian mobile phone market any sooner. If you need one you have to buy it on online retail stores like
Amazon. It goes for only
$200 that's about
GHC 660. It's hard to argue with what
BLU is offering.
